core-view: Reset inputs when losing focus (1.20 KB, patch)
2017-09-17 07:42 UTC, Adrien Plazas 		committed Details | Review

Description Adrien Plazas 2017-09-16 19:12:51 UTC 
Sometimes when playing with the keyboard, keyboard keys tend to be "stuck".

It seems that it is caused by some key presses being caught by the widget but not the corresponding releases. I suspect this to happen when the views looses focus, for example because the header bar appeared and stole the focus.

To fix this I suggest to consider all keys to be released when the CoreView loses the focus.

This avoids key to appear as stuck by receiving the key press event but
not the corresponding key release event.
